[Kdrama Classics] My Name is Kim Sam Soon

Those scenes were so funny! Especially the one in the hotel.

My favorite scene was her imaginary flash of trying to get Henry to date Hee Jin. I laughed so damn hard! "Platonic?! Oh NO! Never!" Every time I watch that whole scene I crack up laughing. Also, when she is teaching him Go Stop and telling him the wrong stuff so she can cheat and win. LMAO! Love it.

Henry keeps his cool through out.


another contributing factor is the WAY foreign languages are spoken in k-drama, not just english. they tend to be spoken more slowly than a native speaker would naturally speak with sentences that dont get too complicated tend to keep the vocabulary on a middle school level. to people who are native english speakers henry's cadence seems off and this can be mistaken for bad acting.

Hmmm.. Very interesting. I didn't think of it this in depth but it makes total sense. I also saw Henry as totally laid back. I know guys like Henry and so his character actually seemed familiar and natural to me. Hell...D is like Henry! Totally chilled out about 80 % of the time. And calm / cool / collected when things in life get a little tense or dramatic.

I also found Daniel Hennay's character/acting in Fugitive Plan B watchable and maybe because I am not fluent in Hangul, his Korean didn't bother me. I like him. When people watch him act and complain about his acting, I see that as a taste issue. When they complain about his Korean I get a bit confused because usually he plays characters who are Korean/American and it seems written into the part that he isn't fluent to begin with.

I watch him here, and in "Seducing Mr. Perfect" and in X-Men and he is fine!!! Mhahahha No wait, what I mean is, he is a great actor and he can adapt himself to his surroundings and his character in MNIKSS is was an american doctor visiting for the first time SK, so he was a tourist, so he behaved like that!! And in the fight scene, they didn't have dialogue, because, words weren't needed at that time...now that is great acting! His fits (and wonderful abs) say it all!!! Mhahahahah

i havent watch that far yet xD so far he only showed up on the recording :D
